Hi Andreas, I've done this and it is a bad idea! Unless you tweak things you're installations are bloated with installations from RPMs you don't need...and this will probably come back to hurt you later. Below is an extract from an internal email when I did this back in February: I think there are probably some issues with doing the installations directly from the Parallel Studio tarball and you tell by looking at the size of the installation directories.
The compilers are fine since if you compare the size of the old and new installation directories you can see they are the same: -bash-4.2$ du -sh icc/2016.* ifort/2016.* 661M icc/2016.1.150-GCC-4.9.3-2.25 672M icc/2016.2.181-GCC-4.9.3-2.25 646M ifort/2016.1.150-GCC-4.9.3-2.25 664M ifort/2016.2.181-GCC-4.9.3-2.25 I think they are a good template for how things should be done. The relevant line in the easyconfigs of these that control what happens is: ( from /usr/local/software/jureca/Stage1/software/Core/EasyBuild/2.6.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easybuild_easyconfigs-2.6.0-py2.7.egg/easybuild/easyconfigs/i/icc/icc-2016.1.150-GCC-4.9.3-2.25.eb) # full list of components can be obtained from pset/mediaconfig.xml in unpacked sources # cfr. https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-composer-xe-2015-silent-installation-guide components = ['intel-comp', 'intel-ccomp', 'intel-icc', 'intel-openmp', 'intel-ipsc?_'] which basically means you need to tell the installer which components to install. You can see that when I tried to use the same tarball for imkl and impi, that I ended up with bloated installations (even though they work) because it installs everything rather than what it needs: -bash-4.2$ du -sh 2016.*/impi/* 821M 2016.1.150-GCC-4.9.3-2.25/impi/5.1.2.150<http://5.1.2.150/> 7,6G 2016.2.181-GCC-4.9.3-2.25/impi/5.1.3.181<http://5.1.3.181/> du -sh 8*/* 2,9G 8.1.5-GCC-4.9.3-2.25/imkl 13G 8.2.5-GCC-4.9.3-2.25/imkl The same is true for tbb, ipp, vtune,... We will need to fine tune the easyconfigs for these with components to trim back the installations (or we just use the specific tarballs rather than the bundle).

I'll report back in case I run into problems, but this seems to work just fine for me. Cheers, Andreas.
